Brief

The Department of Building and Safety initiated this file to record a lien of $5,062.38 against property at 8220 West Foothill Boulevard (Assessor Parcel Numbers 2560-009-030 and 2560-009-029) for unpaid building code violations. Council adopted the lien in December 2013. The file was reactivated in February 2026 when Building and Safety submitted updated documentation; Council has since continued it twice and voted unanimously (15-0) to move forward on May 19, 2026.

Full summary

In September 2013, the Department of Building and Safety requested that the City Council authorize recording of a lien against the property located at 8220 West Foothill Boulevard in the amount of $5,062.38 to recover costs associated with unpaid building code violations on the parcels. The lien is a standard enforcement mechanism used when property owners fail to pay citations or remediation costs for safety or code violations. The Council voted unanimously to adopt the lien on December 10, 2013, and the action became final on December 11, 2013. However, the file was inactive for more than a decade. In late February 2026, the Department of Building and Safety resubmitted documentation dated January 17, 2026, which was referred to Council on February 25, 2026. This reinvigoration of the file suggests either a change in the property's status, an update in collection efforts, or a procedural requirement to refresh the action. Since reactivation, the Council has continued the item twice—most recently on May 19, 2026, when it voted 15-0 to push the matter to June 30, 2026. The persistent continuances indicate the matter remains active and under review, though the underlying reasons for the reactivation and the nature of any new developments are not detailed in the file summary.
